autofs4: fix pending checks
There are two cases for which a dentry that has a pending mount request does not wait for completion. One is via autofs4_revalidate() and the other via autofs4_follow_link(). In revalidate, after the mount point directory is created, but before the mount is done, the check in try_to_fill_dentry() can can fail to send the dentry to the wait queue since the dentry is positive and the lookup flags may contain only LOOKUP_FOLLOW. Although we don't trigger a mount for the LOOKUP_FOLLOW flag, if ther's one pending we might as well wait and use the mounted dentry for the lookup. In autofs4_follow_link() the dentry is not checked to see if it is pending so it may fail to call try_to_fill_dentry() and not wait for mount completion. A dentry that is pending must always be sent to the wait queue.
